Measures coronavirus

Published: Thu, 04/06/2020

In line with the advice from the Dutch government, the management of ASTRON and JIVE has decided to take the following measures to minimise the risk of coronavirus infection:
- ASTRON/ JIVE / NOVA employees work mostly from home,
- all visits to ASTRON / JIVE / NOVA are cancelled until 1 September 2020,
- all events and workshops at the locations of ASTRON / JIVE / NOVA are cancelled until 31 December 2020.

The above measures apply at least up to 1 September 2020.

ASTRON will strive to continue LOFAR science observing to schedule. Users should be aware that operations are running remotely, but debugging and general support will not be as timely as you would normally expect from us.

ASTRON will strive to continue Dutch station maintenance. But there will be no international station maintenance visits until further notice. Participant visits to ASTRON or Dutch partners are not possible, as per the measures mentioned above.
